It seems safe to assume that the Yankees weren't getting a top 100 prospect and a top 40 pick for one year of Gray but the Marlins can still get something good for two years of Realmuto and don't have to let his openness to an extension, which is completely out of their control, hold them hostage.

It's not cause JT costs more, cause he doesn't cost that much, it's cause he's better. Fowler made it clear that he is not going to invest in the team until they play better and with a bunch of rookies and overrated veterans, that could be a while. And then maybe we're the Twins and the window closes before it ever opens.

I'm not saying we are Twins, I'm saying we could be the Twins. I think people get too caught up in what it means to have a top farm system. The Twins had a top farm system with top prospects but they didn't build a team around them and they struggled.

So did the Marlins.... and look at what happened with Stanton/Yellich and Ozuna, to name a few... yes their ACE died prematurly but still... so much promise so little results
